Southern Style Macaroni Salad

Nana's Southern Style Macaroni Salad is the best ever pasta salad of all time. It is creamy with the perfect crunch and a little tang. It is exactly what I think of whenever summer sides come to mind. This recipe is so easy you can whip it up in less than 30 minutes.

I shared stories of my mom with you when we shared her Southern Style Potato Salad recipe which is so precious to me. Now, I am sharing another of her famous recipes. Her southern style macaroni salad was on our table at every summer gathering, right next to that potato salad.

I remember she had this huge milking pail from my great grandma's childhood farm that she used to serve it in. I love that old pot. A few weeks before my mom passed away she gave it to her best friend of 30 years, Susie Q. I was sad to see it go, but Susie Q is like a mom to me and I know she will cherish it. Not to mention she promised to leave it to me in her will. Love you Susie Q and thank you for sharing these stellar recipes with my family so many years ago.

I have to tell y'all that your responses last week were overwhelming. I can't even begin to express how much your comments, emails and messages mean to us. As a matter of fact, keep commenting. We love to hear from you.

My family enjoyed this recipe at every family gathering for most of my life and I am so happy to be able to share it with you.

Nana's Southern Style Macaroni Salad is so easy to make, you may find yourself preparing it every weekend. A creamy dressing with added hard boiled eggs for richness, celery and onion for crunch and tuna for a little added protein. This is my favorite macaroni salad recipe and I am sure you are going to love it too.

Thanks for the recipes, the pics all look just delicious. This peach cobbler desert will cost me (my 1st launching) in pounds on me!xxxx but I will make sure that I start sharing with my frends this episode..

I just made it with half of the noodles and 3 eggs and 3 celery and 1/4 of a onion but I only put in about 7 oz of may and 7 oz of whip that is enough and a can of tuna to don't know why so much mayo and whip it to much

Regardless if I'm making potato salad, macaroni salad, deviled eggs, tuna salad.......etc. I always use half mayo and half Miracle Whip. Everyone always asks me for my recipe & can't figure out just what it is that makes the salad.....LOL
